AFC/Doctors Express Portland, a valuable urgent care provider in the Portland metropolitan area, has recently made two major changes to its staffing organization due to the expected growth of the company. AFC/Doctors Express Portland created two new positions to accommodate this growth: Veronica Thompson was promoted on October 1 to the new position of Director of Operations. Daniel Reese was hired on September 8 and is now filling the new position of Director of Marketing and Sales.
Ms. Thompson has been with AFC/Doctors Express Portland since February 2015 as a clinic manager and has played a key role in helping the AFC team in Portland get ready to expand. She has nearly 19 years of healthcare experience and a substantial amount of education in the health industry. Ms. Thompson earned her Bachelor's of Arts (B.A.) in Community Health from Portland State University, as well as Master's (M.B.A.) in Healthcare Administration from Concordia University - Portland. She has focused on motivating and encouraging her local AFC team members and has brought a great deal of dedication and ambition into the AFC/Doctors Express Portland community.
"As the new Director of Operations, Ms. Thompson will play a leadership role in scaling up the organization for growth, strengthening our systems and processes, and achieving category leadership in patient satisfaction," noted Guru Sankar, AFC Portland's President.
Daniel Reese recently joined the AFC/Doctors Express Portland team but has close to 20 years of experience in marketing and retail operations. Mr. Reese earned his Bachelor's of Science (B.S.) in Business Administration from California State University, and his Master's (M.B.A.) in Management from Concordia University - Portland.

"Dan brings over 20 years of marketing, sales, and customer service experience to AFC Portland," Mr. Sankar explained.
